Free agent cornerback William Gay has signed a new deal that will keep him in Pittsburgh. This means the Steelers will bring back top three cornerbacks they had in 2010.  I’ve been known for being a Gay apologist before, but I think he has some value has a nickel back. He’s not good enough to […]

Punter Daniel Sepulveda has re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and will compete with Jeremy Kapinos and Aaron Bates for the Steelers punting job.  Sepulveda has suffered three major knee injuries in the last couple of years and hasn’t been able to stay on the field. Kapinos is not a good NFL punter and rookie free […]

Free agency is usually a pretty quiet time for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The biggest news most years is the team cutting a veteran player like Joey Porter or Antwaan Randle-El and rarely does the franchise get into bidding wars for the services of star players via free agency.  The team’s commitment to building through the […]

Tackle Willie Colon signed a 5-year, $29 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers today, per the Post-Gazette.  I, like many others, had written Colon off as going elsewhere this offseason. He’s had a rough last couple of years with the team battling injuries, but the team is confident enough in him to give him a […]

In a somewhat surprising move, the Steelers have released longtime tackle Max Starks. Starks is rumored by some to be approaching 400 pounds (!!) and his cap hit was $5.14 million in each of the next two seasons. That’s an awful lot for a guy who hasn’t had a defined role in a few years […]

The rumors have been out there for a while, but today was the first day that there has been confirmed, official interest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Plaxico Burress as news broke that the two parties were meeting.  Fan opinion on Burress, the former Steelers, is highly divided. Some see him as an old, washed […]

Free agent CB Ike Taylor has agreed to a new 4-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Adam Schefter

Sometime during last season, I discovered the Cold Hard Football Facts website. Their stats look promising, and I’ll probably be analyzing their predictability in the next couple months. However, about a month ago, as their Twitter feed kept touting their latest “Quality Stat”, Passer Rating Differential, it hit me: I (at least slightly, more on […]

With the lockout over, teams are now free to begin signing undrafted free agents beginning on the evening of July 25th. The Steelers have consistently been one of the best teams in the league at finding talent among the players who don’t have their name called during the draft. Below is a player-by-player look at […]

Per everybody, the NFL lockout seems to be coming to a close any day (hour?) now. The most boring NFL offseason in recent memory will be over and football fans will be seen high-fiving each other all across the world.  Don’t expect the Steelers front office to feel the same sense of relief though. They […]

Our Bloguin brother Nate from the Colts blog 18to88 just wrote an excellent post comparing Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning. He focus on sack rate and the money line is: “Roethlisberger has taken more sacks in his career than Manning has in his, despite the fact that Manning has thrown TWICE as many passes.” Nate […]

If you are a Pittsburgh fan and you haven’t been following the Pirates this season, you are missing out.  And if you are all of the above and not reading WHYGAVS, Bucs Dugout and Pirates Prospects on a daily basis then I don’t know what to tell you. Michael McKenry’s home run a few weeks […]

I’m still refusing to write about the NFL lockout, but from tweets and stories I’ve been reading the past few days, it definitely sounds like some progress is being made.  I’m very much ready to stop talking about: …and to start talking about: http://youtube.com/watch?v= 2m0Yioo3WlM[/youtube] http://youtube.com/watch?v= IPBcph8k5lw[/youtube] http://youtube.com/watch?v= 6DyzASDVpwU[/youtube] http://youtube.com/watch?v= X96XH_giZW4[/youtube]  

Since it was announced a few months ago that the next Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” would be filmed in Pittsburgh, it has been fun to try and figure out what locations the filmmakers would choose. Would the Cathedral of Learning make an appearance? Would they blow up Mellon Arena?  While filming is still […]

Every Steelers offseason is turning into a daytime soap opera and this one is certainly no exception. Just days after Hines Ward’s DUI arrest, LB James Harrison is saying all kinds of crazy things in a feature article for Men’s Journal. The juiciest quotes are going to appear in the print edition, but here are […]
